Also, what kind of things should I do to my macbook to make sure it's running properly and that I'm not wasting RAM...I want to make sure my mac is up to par and working correctly! Is there something like the disk clean up (and other similar programs) like Windows has?

ONYX works really good, as a Disk Clean up, I know a lot of the more experienced Mac-ers around here will recommend that.

I have a MacBook as well and it always checks for updates automatically and pops up a window to let me know which updates are available for download and through the same pop up it will allow u to download and install those updates.

But why are u thinking that ur MacBook is not up to snuff?! Any particular reason, I am just curious.

To your second question: Run OnyX, it works wonders, especially if you follow this guide that our very own Pulse-8 created. I used it both times I ran OnyX and it is EXTREMELY easy to follow. Your computer will be running quicker if you follow Pulse's steps.
